Description

In eight stories, this singular collection of short fiction written over the course of ten years explores the terrain of modern urban life. In reflective, telegraphic prose, Susan Sontag confronts the reader with exposed workings of an impassioned intellect in narratives seamed with many of the themes of her essays--the nature of knowing, our relationship with the past, and the future in an alienated present.

While I really enjoyed this collection, I found myself bored with some of the stories - namely Baby. I could not care, unlike the story of Julia, her beautiful dead friend. I loved that one and re-read it, along with Unguided Tour. I will be reading more of hers, for sure.
